Forum Wars - Mazdaspeed Forum vs 8thcivcs.com - FYHN

[Haltech]

Mazdaspeed Forums was called out to compete on season 2 of Forum Wars. http://www.8thcivics.com threw down the challenge of wanting to run a Mazdaspeed 3 after their most embarrassing loss to a VW GTI on season 1.

8th gen, having over 78,000 members vs MSF's 10,500 could not get it together, having months of preparation time to get their car ready. They had multiple cars selected, but excuses after excuses led them to get two members to volunteer their cars with roughly 12 hours to spare. MSF raced against an 8th generation Mugen Civic Si making upwards of 490+ fwhp and kicked their asses in a 2-0 sweep of events. Quarter Mile Drag Race and AutoX course.

Mazdaspeed Forums did not get notification of this event until roughly 13 days before the event was to take place. MSF, small in nature, but big in platform, pulled together its resources from the community and raised close to $3000 to get the proper parts and alignment done to compete in this event. The car consisted of stage 2 bolt on's (downpipe, sri, exhaust, and tune) along with coilover suspension, custom awr end links and hotchkis swaybays making only 290 horsepower. Joe, known as Forzda1 on the forum, was our chosen driver for the borrowed houston car belonging to forum member Ziggo. Joe, having a successful road race career as an amateur successfully drove MSF to the winning sweep, finishing over all as 3rd from the entire 20 car pool consisting of a viper, amg c63, bmw, ford gt, etc.

1st fastest autox lap time: x0.xx by a Subaru STi
2nd fastest autox lap time: x2.x by a Viper ACR
3rd fastest autox lap time: x2.x by a Mazdaspeed 3

The first event was a 1/4 mile drag race. This event should have easily been won by this supposed 500hp Civic Si monster. Results are below:

MS3 xx.7 to the Civics xx.4 - round 1
MS3 xx.1 to the Civics xx.9 - round 2

result.. win by Mazdaspeed 3

Second event was an auto cross road course:

Mazdaspeed 3 sweeps with the faster xx.6 to the Civics xx.4.

The Mazda suffered a rear camber link failure after the drag race. A bolt had backed off the stud and was replaced and secured. The rear right camber was off by more then 25 degrees and had an effect on the car, pushing it to the left during cornering. As you can see, we made no excuses and chose to run the car anyhow. Perhaps, we would of bested the STi's time of xx.xx.

My thanks goes out to our great and loyal community for pulling together and getting this car setup for the event. My thanks to both Joe and Allen for being at the event and being home away from family to compete. Also, many thanks to all of the forum members who pulled this out of their hat, including Nataphen and FreeFlyfreak who took charge and organized everything.

For 8th gen civics, this was an ugly blow to their egos. Not only was this has handed to them like last years season, they received a double kick in the balls by losing to a VW R32 against another civic. Thats a double loss for 8thcivics.com with a fine record of 0-3. Bravo you fucking retards. Next time you decide to call out a forum, do a little research next time.

Pre Race video... enjoy

WOOT! BAD ASS

[senor blanco ms3]

So happy to be a part of our win. It was a long day and a half getting that car ready but so worth it. MSF is no doubt the best forum to be a part of.

FYHN!!!!!!!!

[Decepticon]

Wow only .4 sec behind a viper acr and not running 100%. Congrats to MSF and to my hero Forzda. I can just imagine what he can do with his own car. I say let's step up and go against the sti's and evo's with Forzda and his car.

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

Bad-fucking-ass!!! Congrads to everyone who participated in bringing this home for MSF, way to go!

[jwilkins88]

Good shit. Life can continue now.

[digitaljedi]

especially amazing when you consider that we have probably 1,000 cars that are equally as capable as ziggos car was. This was a very, very, very mildly modified ms3.

[BigJimMs3]

This site is filled with BAMF msf FTMFW

[Amazon]

MSF delivers, 8thcivic does not. Not only that, but they got double penetration ass raped by us and DFW.

8thcivic has shown that the age old saying "a car is only as good as it's driver" to be true. Looks like power is just a useless commodity on a 8thcivic

FUCK YO HONDUH NIGGAHS!!!

[thanox2]

Proud to be a member of this community. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Btw just got banned from 8th civic fail lol

[-cj-]

Way to represent, Forzda! Also big thanks to Ziggo for lending his car out!

[Smoker6]

W00t! Great job Joe!

[Stealth01]

"We came, we saw, we KICKED ITS ASS!"

Nice work to everyone involved. Next season, we take on STis, Evos, and of course, R32s.

[2007speed3]

amazing win... so what was the Honda's true hp???

[HLR Element]

maybe they can find the sienna forum next time.

[banditscout]

I love this fucking forum. FYHN!

[obijack]

1-8-11

Hmmmmm...we need a photochop-savvy person to make a "Never Forget" poster for the 8th Gen guys. You know, American flag flying in the background...upside down. An MS3 smoking an Si....maybe some ricer douchemonkey crying like a bitch....

[Amazon]

8-11 was 9-11 for 8thcivic

[kpacker51]

Any word when these episodes will be available online?

Do they put out one episode at a time?

I know that all the season's episodes were filmed today. I just hope we don't have to wait until June to see it.

[SIXual Panda]

wow, this was like the story of rocky.. hell yeah guys! im so honored to be apart of a community of this status. we pulled through with very minor time to prepare.

so.. if you do this mathematically.. let me bust out my ricer calculator real quick..
MSF: 10,000 members
8thcivic: 78,000 members

so... 78,000/10,000= 7.8
then you take that and multiply it by at least 2 since we beat them twice

7.8 x 2 = 15.6
so each member of MSF, to my calculation is at least 15.6 times more kickass than 8thcivic.

[speedtown]

I feel like even though I wasn't there or did anything with the car that my donated money was what bought the best mod for this car.....


okay so it was an awesome group effort but I'm gonna tell people it was mostly me, you know you assholes would do the same.

[ScarMS3]

I enjoyed the "our server is uber powerful, and yours sucks" part of the video....great jobs guys and thanks for keeping this an enthusiast forum Hal.

Eh, I lost an uncle that day and have another one in Iraq, but its cool

Twas a tragic day for 8thcivic basically

[digitaljedi]

Not to be a douche bag, but this is such awesome vindication for msf, which was pretty much set up as a forum to rid ourselves of faggots like the dudes from 8thcivic (same kind of people as 24/7) and we were really small for a really long time. All of us guys that got banned back in feb of 2008 from 24/7 followed hal over here when he told us this would be a real, hardcore enthusiast site, we all believed him and followed him, and this totally shows that he completely came through and this is the greatest fucking car forum there is.

Complete vindication for all of our assholish ways as the outcasts of the sport compact world, VIVA LA MSF!!!!

[Haltech]

I am proud to have cultured 10,000 asshole, like myself under one roof... There is no denying this is by far, the tightest automotive community out there. I am sure we will grow larger and become even more powerful as time goes on. I also bet we get another call to compete once again.

[Seaton]

Awesome job guys!!!
500HP and a 14.4 ET? Anyone know what MPH they both ran? this would be interesting.

you're forum is about to grow ten fold, once this thing airs. i think once it does, the requirements to become vip should be more strict, so if we get an influx of dbags, it's easy to avoid.

[Amazon]

Heard they trapped 108 mph......500 hp on teh e-dyno maybe?

[digitaljedi]

hal said 108.

you genpu guys must be ecstatic that we finally had something to distract us from clowning the 2nd gen, lol.

totally kidding man, unfortunately genpu has completely grown on me aside from the smiley face, but that shouldn't be hard to take car of soon, it looks really aggressive from the side in silver.

[Amazon]

Sooooo.......

Can we unban Danny now?

I dunno.. although we do lose guys to trading for Evo's or Sti's, they do infact stay as members here, which says something. Not quite sure how many more legit mazda owners we will gain from this. I would also hate to adopt a bunch retards.

I just want something to reinforce our presence for when we expand our forums out to other platforms. Culturing the same type of loyalty is of utter importance to me. Its about the platform and the people who make the platform.

[Amazon]

How could you say NO to his chubby face? He is fully repentant and would like to get back on.
I vote YES

[Seaton]

500hp @ 108mph. haha. I guess some people love to talk their shit up.
how embarrassing for them.

[kabobulate]

You may see an influx of idiots, but the atmosphere in this forum either makes them get their head on straight before they post again, or they leave. I don't think there will be an issue.

[bscar]

500hp in a Civic is probably 250 in reality, if they're lucky
